Hey guys, I just bought a crucial m4 64GB SSD for an OS drive and I'm having a little trouble installing it.
So the PC I'm putting it in is an old school Core 2 system running on an ASUS P5NSLI motherboard. Now this motherboard doesn't support AHCI so I figured the SSD would be running off the IDE channel.
The issue is this: When the computer boots, the SSD is recognized in the BIOS under the SATA 1 channel and everything is fine on post. I then boot from CD, trying to install a fresh new copy of Windows 7 and when it gets to the installer page where it lists all the drives, the page is blank, showing no SSD present. Yet it is recognized in the BIOS.
I looked online and haven't found anything to help me. Can anyone shed light on this? Much appreciated.
